Grand Companions not a typical shelter

By May 27, 2021No Comments

Grand Companions Humane Society of Fort Davis does more than just help rescue stray pets and place them in good homes. Its mission is to help people save, honor, and connect with pets, all with the help of caring, proactive staff such as Development Coordinator Kaylee French.  A resident of Alpine, French wears several hats at Grand Companions. Not only is she the social media guru, handling the Facebook and Instagram accounts and managing the website, but she also is a grant writer, scheduler, and volunteer coordinator.  “Shelters are typically very sad, very loud, and stressful for the pets,” she said. “Laura Langham, the director, has made it her mission to completely change the world of shelters so the experience is low stress for the animals and the staff. We are also very family oriented. It truly feels like all the staff really cares about each other and works together as a family here. Those are the two big things that blew me away about this organization. It will completely change your mind about shelters in general.”
